Dash v RLFC -1

Racing gets another opportunity to get some much needed road points on Friday in Houston. Every time Racing plays Houston, the match seems imminent winnable, but Racing has only won 3 out of the previous 13 matches. You would have to assume that Dash fans, if any actually exist, feel that every match against Louisville is a chance for 3 points as well. The game time temperature in Houston is expected to be around 80, or “chilly” as they refer to it in the Lone Star State.
This match is completely capable of giving us a no-score draw, having done so 3 times in the past. Hooray! Neither team is super prolific in front of goal although Racing has shown some goal-scoring ability recently. Then there is Jane Campbell. Just being Jane Campbell is good enough but sometimes she turns into Super Jane Campbell when she faces Louisville. She has stopped several shots against Racing that no other keeper has any business stopping.
To steal and mangle a line from The Smiths’ “The Queen is Dead”, if you say, “I know you and you cannot write”, I say, “That’s nothing, you should hear me on a podcast!” I recorded an episode of the Vamos Morados podcast with Zach Allen-Kelly and Chris “Road Dog” Lemmel last evening and it is out today. They like to talk about soccer, and I like to go off topic and talk nonsense, so it was a fun time.
